‘Sports Rap Radio’ in Detroit is still on its way, just a few weeks after it was initially scheduled to launch. The station, which will feature a lineup of all-Black hosts, was initially set to launch on May 16, however, it has now been pushed back to begin on Monday June 3.
Fox Sports Radio host Rob Parker and a group, which includes former NBA player BJ Armstrong, will air the programming on WXYT 1270 AM through an LMA with Audacy who owns the signal. Parker posted on his X account, “Technical issues got us. Sports Rap Radio IS coming. Be patient. We want to start out of the gate right.”
The lineup for the station was announced on April 30 and will feature Armstrong hosting solo from 10 a.m. to noon, followed by midday show The Bad Boys with Martin Weiss and JR Gamble. Lindsey Hunter, a retired Pistons guard and member of the 2004 NBA championship team, will team up with Detroit native Montezz Allen to co-host “The Pitbulls” afternoon drive show from 3-7 p.m. That will lead into Parker’s national show, The Odd Couple, with Chris Broussard until 10 p.m.
